Plainly, both of those cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The F5 using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Sigma Quattro H will deliver greater detail because of its extra 31MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The older F5 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
